I only know I heard the name MEgyn Kelly over and over.

I still think my hunch is right; that this whole thing was part of the deal with the National people.

We’ll find out soon enough if Trump wins the primary in Iowa.

Whew....just got back from church today and where shall I begin?

First, we got our throats blessed today../..what the hell is that all about?

My friend, Diane Feinstein, does her best to keep me away from Father Tom Flowers because ....well I asked her to. So comes time to get the throat blessed there’s Father Tom sitting on the stool blessing throats (lookit, I never heard of blessing throats for God’s sake...it’s like we never knew nothing until Father Tom came along.)

So comes time to bless the throats Diane Feinstein comes over and steer me away from Father Tom to the Deacon, whispering it would not due for Father Tom to kiss me while blessing my throat. Heh.

Diane Feinstein has been witness to all this and we have a lot of fun with it. I assure her she will soon meet the county lawyer and my state Senator....who she knows but even though we live within spitting distance of each other, is NOT her state Senator.

She needs to see how he can actually pick me up, right off the floor....which her piddly state senator could never do.

Anyway.....the blessing of the throat....go to hell, what’s that all about?

Anyway, watching the Sunday talk shows now....will be commenting soon enough.

My parish has always blessed throats.

I still get coughs and colds from time to time, along with the sore throat companionship to them.

Still, I guess every little bit helps!

Without the blessing, it could have been worse, I suppose!

“Anyway.....the blessing of the throat....go to hell, what’s that all about?”

Oh yes - I’ve had my throat blessed in numerous churches over many years.

More info here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blessing_of_the_Throats

BTW - does your church bless animals? My sister’s church does and they’ve always taken their dogs there (they do the blessing outside, not in the church). It’s for St. Francis of Assisi: http://www.americancatholic.org/Features/francis/blessing.asp
